It's hard I know. I've been unable to put mine down all morning as she has just fed and cried, sometimes at the same time.

I realised she was just tired as I'd exhausted all other possibilities. So I've spent an hour trying to get her to sleep. She finally stopped fighting & is now asleep on my chest. No way am I moving her now!

I'm sure you're trying everything. At some point you'll find out what the problem is & fix it. Hang in there x

I think it's teething it's the only thing I can think off. She's in a nap rountine so when it's her nap time I'll
Put her to sleep.

I've brought some teething gel hoping she's old enough for it now n hope to god it works.

Could it be the third leap? Mine has been a lot more difficult these last few days too; I'm exhausted. He hasn't napped for longer than half an hour in the day time for 3 days, is only taking half a bottle every couple of hours and has been super cranky and clingy all day. I've also had to wash my bedding twice in this time and we're averaging about 5 complete outfit changes per day because he projectile vomits when he gets upset (DS1 was the same). Anyway apparently this all fits in with leap behaviour and the third leap is around 11/12 weeks.

My baby has been the same recently. He's had a bad belly again and I'm struggling to work out if it's a reaction (he has suspected cmpa and egg allergy) or teething. He's started crying frequently and fussing when feeding too. He's 12 weeks tomorrow and if I remember rightly there's a growth and developmental thing going on at about this time.

He's just screamed his head off when I've tried to feed him, repeatedly unlatching, so I've given him some bonjela (suitable from 2 months) and he's completely relaxed now watching Nicki Minaj on a music channel 😂

Either way, I hope things get easier soon x

Yea I think she started the 3rd leap a few days early this time to as according to wonder weeks it started yesterday but she's been a Oisin for full on 3-4 days now.

My LO (little one) has been so unsettled since Friday, arching his back when feeding or just sitting, lots of tears, seems hungry then doesn't feed, He's also had runny poos so we wondered if it was a cold or teething. I'm a FTM (first time mum) so not sure what the signs are but I think I've spotted a small white spot on his bottom gum. I've been giving Calpol and teething bongela and that seems to help. Hope it gets easier for you xx

Your growing child

4 month old, third week

Even though crying is still your baby's strongest form of communication, he's also developing his sense of humour now. He may start to laugh at pleasant surprises such as your face appearing from underneath a blanket. Read More

4 month old, fourth week

Following a well-established nighttime routine may help settle your baby to sleep. Feed her, give her a bath, put her in her pyjamas, play a game, read her a book, sing songs or play some music, then put her down. Read More

5 month old, first week

Your baby can't express his emotions in the same complex way that you can. Although he can let you know in clear ways when he's angry, bored or happy, his ability to show love and humour are just developing. Read More

5 month old, second week

Your baby may start showing signs of one of his first major emotional milestones – stranger anxiety. He may become clingy and anxious around new (and even familiar!) people and may cry if a stranger suddenly approaches him. Read More

5 month old, third week

Your baby's getting better at spotting very small objects and tracking moving things. At this point, he may be able to recognise an object after seeing only part of it, like his favourite toy peeking out from under the couch. Read More
